Regards,

When you install IIS, it is preconfigured to serve as a default Web site; however, you may want to change some of the settings. To change the basic settings for the Web site and to emulate the steps that are required to set up Apache for the first time by using the configuration file:

Log on to the Web server computer as an administrator.

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Internet Services Manager.
3. Right-click the Web site that you want to configure in the left pane, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Web site tab.
5. Type a description for the Web site in the Description box.
6. Type the Internet Protocol (IP) address to use for the Web site or leave the All (Unassigned) default setting.
7. Modify the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port as appropriate.
8. Click the Home Directory tab.
9. To use a folder on the local computer, click A directory on this computer, and then click Browse to locate the folder that you want to use.
10. To use a folder that has been shared from another computer on the network, click A share located on another computer, and then either type the network path or click Browse to
11. select the shared folder.
12. Click Read to grant read access to the folder (required).
13. Click OK to accept the Web site properties.

For enhanced security, IIS 7 is not installed on Windows Server® 2008 by default. When you install IIS 7, your Web server is configured to serve only static content. This includes HTML and image files. The following list describes new security features in IIS 7 and briefly explains their benefits: *. A new Windows built-in group named IIS_IUSRS replaces thelocal IIS_WPG group. A new Windows built-in account called IUSR replaces the local IUSR_ MachineName anonymous account from IIS 6.0. However, the IUSR_ MachineName account will continue to be used for FTP. These changes combine to offer four benefits. *. Ability to use a custom anonymous account without disabling the IIS anonymous account. *. Maintenance of consistent access control lists (ACLs) across several Web servers by using a common Security Identifier (SID). *. Improvement of the DCPROMO process by making sure that the local anonymous account does not become a domain account. *. Elimination of the need to manage passwords. *. The IP restriction list can be configured to deny content access by a single computer, a group of computers, a domain, or all IP addresses and unlisted entries. This provides support for inheritance and merging of IP restriction rules in addition to IIS 6.0 grant/deny support. *. Features of the UrlScan 2.5 security tool are incorporated in IIS 7. This removes the requirement to download a separatetool. *. IIS 7 supports URL authorization in native code. For consistency, this change provides support for all the functionality of the existing ASP.NETmanaged code implementation.
